Free Solana games in your browser
Most Solana games ask you to connect a wallet and buy tokens before you play. Garden Dice flips that order: try a free demo roll in your browser first — no wallet, no SOL — then pay from 0.001 SOL only if you want an official on-chain result. It is entertainment, not a casino.
What counts as a free Solana game?
On Solana, “free” usually means one of three things:
- Free demo, pay to continue — try the mechanics in-browser, then micropay in SOL (Garden Dice uses this model).
- Free-to-play with tokens — you still need a wallet and often an NFT or SPL token to start.
- Testnet games — free fake SOL, but not the same as mainnet wallet-native play.
Garden Dice is built for curious Solana users who want to feel a wallet-native interaction without committing SOL upfront. See the wallet-native games hub for how browser play compares to app-store games. The demo uses the same commit-reveal fairness model as paid rolls — read the provably fair explainer if you want the cryptography details.
Try Garden Dice — free demo roll
Use the demo panel above or open the Garden Dice product page or a beat roll of 4 challenge. Click Free demo roll, watch the commit hash appear, then roll. No Phantom, no seed phrase, no SOL.
When you are ready for an on-chain result, connect a wallet or scan a Solana Pay QR and send 0.001 to 0.01 SOL. New to wallets? Start the wallet tutorial path.
Beat-my-roll challenges (free to try)
After any roll you can share a challenge link like
/c/4/ — friends land on a page with a rich preview, try their own
free demo, then pay if they want to beat your number.
See the challenge links guide
for how sharing works.
FAQ
Do I need a wallet for the free demo?
No. The demo roll works entirely in your browser. A wallet is only required when you choose to pay for an official on-chain roll.
How much SOL does a paid roll cost?
From 0.001 SOL (about one million lamports) up to 0.01 SOL — you pick the amount. Plus a small network fee.
Is this gambling?
No cash payouts. You pay for a verifiable on-chain roll and bragging rights — pay-per-roll entertainment, not a casino.
